Chapter 38
Wang Jiazhi vaguely heard someone knocking on the door and thought it was a nightmare. When she woke up a little, she heard someone knocking on the door and said, "Can you help me?"
She then drowsily slipped on her shoes and went to open the door. When she opened the door, she saw Huang Liju from next door holding the door with one hand, barely breathing, her legs weak and about to collapse.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"I don't know. I have vomiting, diarrhea, and a fever. It's so sad."
Xiaoshuang also woke up. Seeing that she was pale, the two of them put on some clothes and took her to the emergency room.
Huang Liju couldn't even stand steadily, let alone walk. Even with two people supporting her, she couldn't walk steadily.
Wang Jiazhi volunteered to carry her on her back. Huang Liju felt embarrassed and tried her best to say that she could walk and didn't want her to carry her on her back.
Wang Jiazhi said, "How can you walk? It will be faster if I carry you."
Xiaoshuang helped Huangli Jufu down the stairs. The nearest emergency room was quite a distance away, and finding a car in the middle of the night was impossible.
Xiaoshuang had no choice but to go find Zhou Minlin. Zhou Minlin hurriedly put on his clothes, went downstairs with another boy with sleepy eyes, and carried Huang Liju to the hospital.
It was already late at night when they finished checking and putting the IV drip in. Huangliju felt much better after the IV drip. With his dying breath, he said, "I'm so sorry to have you all suffer so much. I thought I would just have to hold out for one night, but I can't hold on any longer."
Zhou Minlin smiled and said, "Why should I be embarrassed? We are all here to take care of each other. You live alone, and no one would know if you got sick. Fortunately, you still have the strength to make it to the door. If you were really too sick to leave the house, it would be terrible if something serious happened. If you really want to thank someone, thank your two neighbors."
Huang Liju laughed and said, "How can I feel comfortable asking Wang Jiazhi to carry me on her back?"
Wang Jiazhi laughed and said, "I didn't carry you for more than a few steps. They did."
Zhou Minlin smiled and said, "It's no big deal for a man like me to carry you a few steps. You should take good care of yourself."
By the time the tangerines were finished hanging, it was already dawn. Zhou Minlin went out to buy breakfast and came back. The four of them ate steamed dumplings and red bean paste rice balls. The doctor told them not to eat anything greasy with tangerines, and they could only have plain porridge.
Zhou Minlin handed the glutinous rice balls to Wang Jiazhi and whispered, "You have this bowl. I've added your favorite rose jam."
Wang Jiazhi smiled and said, "Thank you very much."
Zhou Minlin wanted to carry Huang Liju back, but Huang Liju said she had enough strength and insisted on walking back. Seeing that she was still very weak, but her legs were no longer weak and she could walk, Wang Jiazhi and Xiaoshuang helped her back.
Huang Liju went back and fell asleep quickly. Wang Jiazhi and the other three had been tossing and turning all night and wanted to catch up on some sleep, but after thinking it over, they packed up and went to class.
At noon, Wang Jiazhi went to buy some porridge and side dishes for Huang Liju, and then went back to class as usual.
Because Huang Liju still needed to be on IV drip for a few more days, Wang Jiazhi and Xiaoshuang accompanied her to the hospital in the evening.
Huang Liju tried to persuade her that she didn't need to accompany him anymore, but Xiao Shuang said, "You are still so weak, you can't do without someone to accompany you."
It was already eight o'clock when they got back. Wang Jiazhi and Xiaoshuang struggled to wash up, then fell asleep on the pillows.
